Answer:

The color of light in which plants are less likely to produce food is green.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take advantage of sunlight to convert it into chemical energy, necessary to manufacture their nutrients, their growth and development.

Plants do not absorb all the colors of the light spectrum, since due to their pigments they absorb colors with specific wavelengths. Green plants do not absorb the color green, but reflect it —due to the chlorophyll pigment— which gives the green color to those leaves.

For this reason, the light that plants take least advantage of to produce food is green light.

Other options:

The colors blue, orange and red can be absorbed by the plant, to a lesser or greater degree.
